The regulatory authority empowered to exercise the provisions of the LGPDPSO is the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Protection of Personal Data (\u201cINAI\u201d), which at the same time regulates and enforces the Federal Transparency and Personal Data laws that precede the LGPDPSO.<\/p>\n

In the same way it regulates transfers and remissions of personal data; establishes preventive actions during the process; means for contesting unlawful processing of personal data and sanctions, as well as a verification procedure that can be initiated ex officio by the INAI.<\/p>\n
